One of my favorite ways to observe life and the universe is by finding analogies in different scales. You can discern important rules by finding principles that work the same on the microscopic scales, people size scales, country size, even astronomical size.
It is useful in every day life because it lets us use what we know about one scale to shine light on another scale. For instance; how your body functions and how an entire country functions have a lot of analogies.
This learning technique has helped me understand electronics and physics and business and social issues. Now it may shed light on a new topic.
Quantum
Experts in quantum mechanics tell us that any given thing is undefined until a conscious entity observes it. Then what had been ambiguity suddenly resolves into a clear reality. I am beginning to realize that forming a new organization of people works the same way.
A new organization such as a business or church starts out with a few ideas and very few rules. When there are very few people in it, there is little need for policies and procedures. You just do what seems right. As more people join, they don’t have the same background and understandings as the founders. They often have to ask what the policy or procedure is for a given situation. Then a policy is created and what had been ambiguity resolves into a clear structure.
Perhaps quantum physics isn’t so bizarre after all.
